Medium green maybe and a white large which I couldn't face owning for the next 3/4 years (maybe another medium in the back, no good to me)<br />
Doh!

<p>Surely your current helmet needs replacing now due to the fact the material has degraded over time and is now highly dangerous to use?<br /> <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_wink.gif" title=";-)" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> </p>carlphillips on "Bell Super helmet- First impressions"http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/bell-super-helmet-first-impressions#post-5161098

<p>Very happy with it still after a couple of weeks of use. Love it.

<p>They say UK shops should have em soon...

<p>Have you tried a motorcycle shop? They might have something similar. I think I'll be putting some threadlock on mine...

Fri, 05 Jul 2013 22:50:07 +0000stewartc5132471@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/<p>I ride in a little more heat and humidity than the UK and I have found the venting to be fine, a lot better than the Recon it replaced.<br />
Been using mine since the beginning of June and the only negative I have found is the visor bolts, they appear to come loose easily and I have already lost one and getting a replacement from Bell is nigh on impossible, however being British I have just bodged up a solution with some M5 bolts.<br />
I have also been running it with goggles on some trails and its a revelation although its a difficult look to pull off on singletrack/XC type trails, I have found that when worn with my Radars it does pinch a little at the side, nothing too serious.<br />

Fri, 05 Jul 2013 22:20:08 +0000kayak235132436@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/<p>I think the venting is adequate. It's never going to be as good as your standard bunch of bananas type helmet, but it's pretty good and I personally chose protection/coverage over venting. It's all very open under there so a good amount of air can get in.

My worry about these high coverage lids is heat. I run HOT!
